Open Distro for Elasticsearch Alerting Kibana

The Open Distro for Elasticsearch Alerting Kibana plugin lets you manage your Open Distro for Elasticsearch alerting plugin to monitor your data and send notifications when certain criteria are met---all from Kibana.

Highlights

• Create and schedule monitors, which run period queries against data in Elasticsearch.
• Evaluate query results against triggers to see if they meet certain criteria.
• If trigger criteria are met, generate alerts and perform actions (e.g. post a message in a Slack channel).

Documentation

Please see our documentation.
